Introduction

Whether it is the waters of the Broads, the cliffs of the North Norfolk coast, the ancient landscapes of the Brecklands, the uninterrupted views of the Fens or our ancient cities and market towns, the landscape of Norfolk is a living testament to the combined forces of nature and humanity.

The Norfolk E-Map Explorer lets you explore this changing landscape by comparing aerial photographs and historical maps of Norfolk on the web.
